The currency used is Australian dollars, available in A$ 100,50,20,10,and 5. Mastercard and Visa credit cards are accepted which makes it easier to conduct financial transactions, though this may not be the case in outlying islands. The cost of a holiday/visit to Kiribati is higher than most other Pacific countries because nothing is produced on the islands so the cost of food and other items is more.
Contemporary Kiribati culture is centered on the family, the church and the sea. Its relative isolation Kiribati has allowed "traditional values" and skills to be maintained.
Kiribati Destinations include the vast stretches of coastlines and coral reefs that adorn the islands at Kiribati. The deep blue sea, varied vegetations and different species of animals attract tourists from all over the world.
